Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Shocking Appearance of the First Generation’s Wood Release
Everyone's eyes were fixed intently on the site of the blast.
Although the Root ninjas had suffered significant casualties, the troublesome brat had finally been dealt with.
The explosion just now should have killed him.
As the smoke cleared, Sasuke's figure emerged.
However, his appearance caused Shizune to involuntarily cover her mouth. Surviving such an explosion seemed impossible.
Sasuke's body was torn apart, with large chunks of flesh missing, exposing white bones beneath.
He looked horrifying, lying on the ground like a completely charred corpse.
The surrounding Root ninjas sighed in relief.
If Sasuke's combat power hadn't been resolved quickly, it would have become a big problem.
Luckily, this guy recklessly barged in and was surrounded by them. Perhaps he didn't realize how extraordinary the coordination of the Root ninjas was.
"Humph! Arrogant fool, courting death!"
The Root ninjas sneered at this point.
But after that, their attention shifted back to Shizune and her group.
The pressure was now back on them, making the Konoha ninjas feel an immense burden.
Cold sweat started to form on their foreheads.
At this moment, Tsunade, peeking out from behind the curtain, looked at Sasuke lying on the ground.
Her whole body froze.
'Sasuke… kun…'
Dead!
Another important person had died in front of her eyes.
And yet, she could do nothing. If only she weren't consumed by fear, if only she could fight…
Sasuke wouldn't have…
Thinking this, Tsunade slumped powerlessly to the ground.
Through the cracks, she blankly stared at Sasuke.
As Tsunade's heart was about to collapse entirely—
Sss, sss~
The Root ninjas, ready to attack, suddenly turned around at the sound behind them.
Sasuke, who should have been dead, slowly stood up.
He casually took the mask off another corpse and placed it over his face.
His own mask had been destroyed in the explosion.
If he hadn't been charred black, Sasuke's identity might have already been exposed.
"So painful!"
"You guys… your teamwork is… pretty coordinated!"
"Careless of me to get hit like that."
Sasuke sneered coldly.
If he had been able to use Lightning Release and Fire Release, the explosion wouldn't have even scratched him.
But even if it did hurt him, it didn't matter.
The Root ninjas froze. How could someone who was clearly dead suddenly stand up?
Was it possible he wouldn't die even in such a state?
A large chunk of flesh from his abdomen had fallen off, yet he still wouldn't die?
What kind of physique was this?
'Sage Mode… Activate!'
In an instant, an invisible storm gathered around Sasuke.
Strange waves of energy surged through his body.
In a split second, Sasuke's aura transformed.
The surrounding Root ninjas were confused, deeply puzzled!
They couldn't understand how Sasuke could still stand up, nor the source of this bizarre chakra.
Even Shizune was stunned.
Given her level of medical expertise, Sasuke's injuries should have been fatal.
How could he possibly stand again…
While she was still pondering—
The next moment!
Sasuke, who had risen from the ground, began emitting white smoke from his wounds.
Hiss, hiss…
Suddenly, flesh began to regenerate out of nowhere. His injuries healed rapidly, and new flesh grew visibly.
At this moment, Tsunade was utterly shocked.
'This is… Grandfather's… Seal-less Healing!'
Sasuke, empowered by the chakra boost of Sage Mode, had enhanced the effectiveness of seal-less healing to an astonishing degree.
At this rate, in about a minute, Sasuke would be fully restored.
Though not yet as effective as Hashirama's abilities,
With time, by advancing seal-less healing and strengthening his Wood Release,
He would eventually surpass Hashirama.
But for now, this was enough.
Sasuke raised his gaze at the Root ninjas.
"It seems ordinary techniques…"
"Won't work against you. In that case, I'll have to get serious!"
He grinned.
With only half a mask left on his face, his smile was exposed.
Seeing Sasuke's grin, the surrounding Root ninjas suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
The next moment, Sasuke opened his eyes wide, veins bulging on his face.
He slammed his hands onto the ground.
Wood Release chakra erupted, triggering the growth of plants beneath the soil.
Massive wooden vines burst out, writhing like black serpents.
They spread rapidly, expanding faster with each breath.
The moment Wood Release appeared, everyone, including Shizune and the Root ninjas, was stunned.
"W-Wood Release…?"
"How… how is this possible?"
While the Root ninjas were in shock, many of them were already ensnared by the Wood Release, captured instantly.
The vines coiled around the Root ninjas, slowly absorbing their chakra and immobilizing them.
Within a dozen breaths,
The Wood Release covered the entire camp, completely destroying it.
At the same time, nearly half of the Root ninjas were subdued by the technique.
Although not killed, they were captured by the Wood Release, their chakra drained slowly, rendering them incapable of breaking free immediately.
The further it went, the harder it was to escape.
"This is… the First Hokage's Wood Release?"
As she spoke, Tsunade rushed out from the tent as well.
She looked at Sasuke in utter astonishment.
Through the gaps in the Wood Release vines, she stared at Sasuke's figure.
'How is this possible… Sasuke Uchiha… Why does he have my grandfather's Wood Release?'
At that moment, Tsunade seemed unaware that her body had stopped trembling, and she no longer feared stepping onto the battlefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Root ninjas, dodging the Wood Release attacks, used ninjutsu to blast away the vines encircling them.
Sasuke was panting heavily.
'I've never learned World Tree Descent. I'm just controlling Wood Release vines by forcibly channeling Wood Release chakra. While it works, this method consumes far too much chakra!'
'And it's nowhere near as effective as a secret technique!'
'It seems I need to find the time to master this Wood Release jutsu properly!'
"Wood Release… How can you have Wood Release… and at such power!"
"Who are you? What exactly are you?"
Even the typically silent Root ninjas couldn't remain calm anymore.
But Sasuke was done responding to them.
It's over!
Sasuke raised his hand, closed his eyes, and actively began condensing Senjutsu chakra.
In an instant, like a massive whale in the sea opening its mouth to feed, he frantically absorbed the natural energy around him.
A terrifying storm formed in an instant, swirling around Sasuke.
'Wood Release…'
'Wood Dragon Technique!!!'
